ChineseResearchLaTeX
A set of LaTeX templates for Chinese research documents paired with Claude Code and Codex skills that fill and verify them
Low risk
We rate an entry low when it mostly gives the agent instructions and reference material.
Why this level
- Skills work with local LaTeX files and don't perform external network operations beyond installing packages

What it does
The repository holds LaTeX templates for common Chinese research documents: NSFC grant applications, SCI papers, theses and academic CVs, with shared style packages kept separate from the concrete projects built on them. On top of the templates sits a set of SKILL.md skills for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other harnesses: they install and update the shared LaTeX packages, bring a project up to its product line's official standard, do pixel-level PDF comparison against a reference, and decide whether a change belongs at the project level or in the shared style package. PDF compilation, Word export and visible word counts are triggered with a plain Chinese phrase to the agent rather than a separate command.
Who it is for. For Chinese-speaking researchers and graduate students preparing grant applications, papers, theses or CVs in LaTeX with the help of an AI agent.
Good fit when
- You need an official LaTeX template for an NSFC grant, an SCI paper, a thesis or an academic CV
- You need to bring a project's formatting up to the official product-line standard and check it against a reference PDF
- You need PDF compilation, Word export or a word count without manually invoking xelatex
Not a fit when
- You need a template outside the Chinese research system
- You are not writing in LaTeX and don't need these templates
Example request
Install the install-bensz-skills skill and bring my NSFC grant project up to the official standardLimitations
All documentation, prompts and most skills are in Chinese. The README explicitly warns that using the project requires sufficient AI compute (a paid agent subscription) and links to the author's own article on that. Some skills are marked as still in development and not recommended for beginners.
How to disable. Remove the skills/ directory from the project or from the system location where the bensz skills installer copied it, and remove the installed LaTeX packages under packages/.

README in short
The README presents the project as an AI agent for research documents built on the idea of Vibe Coding: the agent analyzes the template structure, proposes an optimization plan, a human approves it, and the agent executes and tests the build. A table recommends specific models for Codex CLI and Claude Code depending on task type. The sections on installing shared LaTeX packages and on compiling PDFs or exporting Word documents are built around simple prompt phrases that the agent expands into the right commands. A separate Skills section describes an extensible skill system and warns beginners away from immature skills. MIT licensed.

FAQ
Do I have to use Claude Code?
No, the README states compatibility with Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, GitHub Actions and VS Code.
Can I work in Overleaf?
The project ships a separate zip for Overleaf, but the README doesn't recommend that path since working locally with an agent is more convenient.
